I've been Texas talkin' to myself at night
I've been Florida fallin' since I met you in '09
I've been Arizona angry over every word we said
And Tennessee whiskey wishin' I could take it back

I've been flyin' and cryin'
Tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart
Always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood Hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will

I'm Wisconsin wonderin' what you're doin' right now
I've been Rocky Mountain high tryna put you down
Put an ocean in between us, but it still don't work
I guess there ain't no drownin' out a California hurt

I've been flyin' and cryin'
Tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart
Always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood Hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will

I'm Mulholland-drivin' with you sittin' shotgun
Santa Monica kissin' in the sinkin' Sun
This Nashville night is where I should be
But my soul keeps searchin' for my California dream

I've been flyin' and cryin'
Tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart
Always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood Hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will
I always will
